• 1 cup of diced ham
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• A handful of fresh chives or parsley

Have a great long weekend. We will be closed on Sunday for Anzac day and open on Monday. It would be great to see you if you fancy a visit to Ashburton or need to pop in for a reel of thread or a new sewing machine!
